How Healthy Is Your Business!
When was the last time you gave your business a check-up?
You take your car for its regular service and your body for its annual check-up . . . what about a check-up for the business that provides for your security and lifestyle?
Why is a Business Check-Up, from Time-to-Time, Crucial for Your Success?
Every business is unique and needs to keep pace with the constant changes evolving in the marketplace. The secret for success lies in analyzing the financial data captured from your sales, at least every 6 months, to keep your pulse on your sales and tweak them when they need adjusting.
It’s this in-depth analysis which will give you focus and always the path to follow to make profits.
Data is important because it never lies. However, the art of using it effectively means you have to look at the data and let it “speak to you,” as opposed to overlaying the data with your own biases and opinions.
Do you want to own a business that gives you a return on your investment?
. . . a business that gives you freedom from financial troubles and having the means to afford necessities, living costs and beyond. Not having to worry about the future, your retirement, or your kid’s college fund.
. . . to be in control and to be in charge . . . free from anxiety, fears, depression and stress.
. . . to have the freedom to make choices . . . feeling mentally and physically strong, capable of protecting and providing for oneself and loved ones.
Financial security is the KEY to a sustainable business. The common denominator that unites business owners is that they all want to be financially successful.

Who Is Fran?
FRAN PIGGOTT // Instructor
My success as a business owner, marketing tactician and sales executive spans 49 years. I have founded 4 successful companies and have extensive experience in corporate new business development, selling and marketing.Over the past 18 years, I’ve helped small-business owners onsite, virtually and through workshops reach new heights, or turn their companies into profitable, viable and financially sustainable assets. I have also had great success assisting marketing and sales teams and individuals to regularly achieve their targets.During my corporate career, one of my primary responsibilities was to increase client bases. Consequently, I developed my own tools and techniques to achieve my sales targets consistently, and as easily as possible. My proven methods excelled expectations and I was even asked by one of my employers not to bring any more customers on board as the company needed to consolidate their existing and new customer base.In my online courses, I’ll teach you the easiest and quickest ways to apply my proven techniques and strategies to help you consistently achieve your goals. Another option is to “Do-It-WITH-You’ to get the results you’re wanting.
It’s now time to put as much of my knowledge, experience and expertise to good use by sharing it with those who want to learn not only from my successes, but also my mistakes.
I look forward to helping you grow your sales profitably.
Everything I share is tested and proven in the real world and works.
Assistance is working with you, step-by-step, with practical “how to” and
easy actions to implement at your own pace.
This method is guaranteed to work when applied as instructed.
